IHRA Canadian Nationals To Be Completed on 1/8th-Mile

CAYUGA, Ontario (September 10, 2007) -- IHRA officials have
announced the Canadian Nationals presented by PartSource will be
completed as an 1/8th-mile competition.

Following a full day of rain on Sunday, the racing surface at Toronto
Motorsports Park during round one of eliminations on Monday began to
release moisture near the outside guardwalls. While that round was
completed without problems, the situation began to worsen as the day went
on, therefore forcing race officials to make the call to finish on the
1/8th-mile.

"Safety is always our No. 1 concern and we are again making the
call to run 1/8th-mile with that in mind," said IHRA vice president
of racing operations Skooter Peaco. "The water was controllable
during first round, but by the end it was to a point where it is more
than we can keep up with now. With impending rain moving in, we
didn't want to take a chance to not finish today."
